The Korean MMORPG with sandbox elements Black Desert is set to be released in its home country Korea next month.
This is the good thing about the Asian development cycle, where they rely on three closed beta phases with extremely long breaks in between to continuously work on the game. This creates the impression that a game is “in development for an eternity” and not making any progress: “Is this still in closed beta?” many then ask. However, towards the end, things move quite quickly. Black Desert is expected to enter open beta in Korea in early December and then go live later in the month.
First beta phases in the West are planned for early 2015, with the release here expected in 2016. We have already presented Black Desert in a detailed preview.
